Suite 209 - Maria II da Gloria — Queen of Portugal
“I rule with my heart and mind.” – about Maria II de Gloria Queen of Portugal
Maria da Glória was born in 1819 at São Cristóvão Palace in Rio de Janeiro, the daughter of the future Emperor Pedro I of Brazil and Archduchess Maria Leopoldina, a daughter of the Austrian Emperor Franz I. She is the only European monarch born outside Europe. In 1826, at the age of seven, she became Queen Maria II of Portugal. Her throne was at first disputed; from 1834 she reigned undisputed.
In 1836 she married Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry, the Vienna-born son of the builder of this palace: Dom Fernando II (Suite 210), whose connecting door leads to her suite. Her father-in-law Ferdinand is honoured in Suite 205, her brother Pedro II in Suite 401. The couple had eleven children, among them the future King Luís I.
In Portugal she was called “a Educadora”, the educator, and “a Boa Mãe”, the good mother. The National Theatre in Lisbon still bears her name.
Suite 209 is on two levels: below, the living area with a chaise longue and a small library opens onto the garden; above, on the gallery, is the sleeping area. The library suits a queen whom they called the educator.
